Quang Nam wins V-League: Saying 'structure' is insulting...
In a self-determined situation, Hanoi has fallen from the unbelievable throne, creating conditions for Quang Nam to win the V-League for the first time. Doubts about the "restructuring" scenario, but is it true?
1.In the 89th minute, in a dispute with his junior Mac Hong Quan, Van Quyet committed a foul and then elbowed the midfielder of Than Quang Ninh straight in the face, causing outrage. This was not the first time the captain of the Vietnamese team committed a foul when his team was losing a match.
Quyet “jungle” is not someone who usually plays dirty, especially when it is a teammate on the national team. But if you pay attention, you can see that the midfielder of Hanoi FC was quite frustrated when his team was close to the championship, but let the rice go to waste when they were already leading by 2 goals.

Van Quyet cried when he could not help his team successfully defend the championship. |
More than anyone, Van Quyet or Hanoi Club want to defend the championship, because there is bonus money, fame and personally he is closer to the missing title - Vietnam Golden Ball 2017, if the home team wins.
The bloodlust of winning or losing is not easy to deceive, especially on the football field. Just look at Van Quyet taking off his shirt, crying and not bothering to stand up after the match or the distraught faces of most of the Hanoi players, it is clear that the result in Cam Pha was not what was expected.
2.Until now, when the lights at Tam Ky stadium have gone down, many people still believe that Quang Nam won the championship thanks to "structure". But saying that really touches the great pride of Hoang Van Phuc and his students.
Maybe the championship was a surprise, or Quang Nam should thank Than Quang Ninh for playing a dedicated match, and with all their heart... But it cannot be denied that the Quang Nam team seized the opportunity to be crowned for the first time.

Quang Nam deserves to be crowned champion this season thanks to knowing how to take advantage of opportunities. |
That is because Quang Nam was not a candidate for the championship right from the beginning of the season, when in that position were Thanh Hoa and Hanoi FC. However, the instability of the two biggest candidates created an opportunity for coach Hoang Van Phuc and his team to break away.
Quang Nam may not play beautiful football, but they have the character to not be easy to beat. Quang Nam may not be consistent, but they have some quality current and former players as well as foreign players. Just like that, along with the opportunity given, this team quietly broke out and won the championship is very worthy.
3.Putting aside the race to the championship which is considered “unprecedented” in the history of the tournament, another highlight of the 2017 season is also worthy of being considered an equally impressive milestone.
For the first time after 14 consecutive seasons, the top scorer title belonged to a domestic striker when Nguyen Anh Duc had a hat-trick at Nha Trang Stadium to break away from everyone with 17 goals to break the monopoly of foreign strikers in the V-League.

Anh Duc becoming the top scorer is also the biggest highlight of V-League 2017. |
Anh Duc becoming the top scorer is truly a highlight of V-League 2017, as this is like an answer for the whole tournament that: Foreign money is not always good, when domestic strikers can also do that if trusted.
The chances of domestic strikers playing and being trusted will be greater after Anh Duc's personal achievement. And this clearly could not be better for the national team, after many years of lacking good strikers, even having a crisis when Cong Vinh retired.
There are still many things to dissect, but the end of V-League 2017 is not too bad...
